Probably the first FA I've ever been disappointed with Holland. He's chased every big name and lost them all. Hopefully Brunner does pan out to be a top 6 forward and Samuelsson can score 25 goals. At least next year we should be able to keep everyone, with Howards/Filps deserving pay raises.

Brunner as in Brunnström? Already presented by a Swedish team yesterday/today, I'm afraid.
He felt like the "We need leadership in the minors" meant "We want him to stay there, but we want to keep him on the hook" I guess.

I'm more interested to see if Carolina is done. They still have a fair bit of cap space and could use an addition on the blue line. If Ward is in top form Carolina could be a quality team and absolutely should win that division.

Considering the d-men left out there, it's probably best to not even bother. Maybe Clark or Colaiacovo, really not worth it.

Nah as in Damien Brunner. I wouldn't have any faith in Bruunstrom unless he turned out to be Jesus.

You can tell WoW changed the MMO for good when players started complaining about the amount of time they sink, into a time sink.

Still sad Brunnstrom didn't pan out. Should have joined the Wings back when he first came in the league and took his time to develop rather than chasing the paycheck and ending up stalling his career and going back to Europe.

Coly is worth adding. He can't be that expensive and he is decent enough. As for the Wings, frankly I'd rather see a youth movement. I'm fine with breaking the playoff streak. I'd rather work on developing for the future than just being an okay team with little hope of winning the Cup. I hope Brunner, Nyquist, and Smith get tons of playing time this year.

Pierre McNoonelikesme's twitter got hacked, lol. Some funny stuff here, obviously all pretty immature and NSFW but just goes to show how hated this guy is. Not many people's twitter gets hacked in the Sports industry lol.

Holy shit Subban is still an RFA. WTF Philly, poach the shit out of him right now. Talk about another guy who fits perfectly into their system and playstyle. Fuck it, send the exact same offer sheet to Montreal.

I wish the Bruins could make room for him.... Subban and Marchand?.. other teams (and refs) would absolutely HATE us, lmao. Plus, he could eventually play with his younger brother in net.

Hell, they could each get "problem?" on their jerseys

Today is Doan's deadline to Jamison to make significant sale progress for him to stay in Phoenix. That isn't happening. In fact rumor is that Jamison has lost a significant investor and has been trying to get investments from a Saudi group. According to the Phoenix Business Journal, sources close to the situation who support Jamison's bid don't feel confident that he has the funding or the ability to gather the necessary funding or credit to finalize the purchase anytime soon. Glendale has a court hearing next week with the backers of the petition to kill off the increased sales tax meant to be used to prop up their payments to Jamison to run the arena. It should be fun to see the outcome of that one.

He's a Christian republican, it's not surprising about being against same sex marriage. Tim Thomas has gone from a great story about a goalie never giving up his dream to play in the NHL, to being a fucking douchebag. I doubt Boston will resign this cunt, and I hope they don't.
